TikTok Shop Fee Calculator
TikTok Shop US takes a 6% referral fee (Seller University, rates as of 2026-10-16), so a $25.00 sale with a 10% affiliate commission and a $10.00 cost leaves $21.00 settled and $11.00 profit (44% margin). For $5.00 profit, price at $17.86: (5 + 10) / (1 - 0.06 - 0.10).
How to use
- Choose From selling price to see profit, or From target profit to find the price to set.
- Pick the shop country. The platform fee fills in, and you can change it for a category rate or a new seller discount.
- Enter the price, your product cost and the creator affiliate commission with the slider.
How it works
Platform fee = price × platform rate. Affiliate commission = price × commission rate. Settlement = price - platform fee - commission.
Profit = settlement - product cost. Margin = profit / price × 100.
To hit a target profit, price = (target profit + cost) / (1 - platform rate - commission rate), checked to the cent.
Example in the US: 25.00 × 6% = 1.50 and 25.00 × 10% = 2.50, so settlement is 21.00 and profit after a 10.00 cost is 11.00.
